QID 996727

Date Published: 2024-01-17

QID 996727: Python (Pip) Security Update for Django (GHSA-wxg3-mfph-qg9w)

The verify_exists functionality in the URLField implementation in Django before 1.2.7 and 1.3.x before 1.3.1 originally tests a URL's validity through a HEAD request, but then uses a GET request for the new target URL in the case of a redirect, which might allow remote attackers to trigger arbitrary GET requests with an unintended source IP address via a crafted Location header.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 8.6 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
